Mrs. Jean Brown resident of Elk Hills indicated she was concerned about an additional entrance into this area. She further indicated it was a real problem getting unto Highway 169. Mr. Leo Pollack of Elk River Development Corporation indicated the terrain is very extreme dictating to some extend as to where the roads are going to go. Also because of the terrain dictates the price of the property. Discussion was held regading the commerical lot. Mr. Pollack indicated that parcel was unsuitable for residents because of the layout and terrain. He further indicated the commercial area would not be developed for at least 3 to 5 years. Mr. Pollack noted this was difficult property to develop because of the terrain and that they were trying to work with the city to develop this into a nice development and we need a lot of lots to make this pay because of the sewer, water and roads. Chairman Tralle closed the public hearing. Further discussion was held regarding whether or not the City or Developer should do the raods. Phil Hals, the Street Superintendent, noted that the biggest draw back was the access to the park. Is this a City park or a local development park? Access was to well hidden and hard to find. If they were to build this in phases he would like to see the roads completed after the second phase. It was the concensus of the Planning Commission that Deerfield Third provide a second access to a public road out of the subdivision to alleviate traffic problems and for safety reasons in case one access is blocked. It was also the concensus of the Planning Commission to have a joint meeting with the City Council in March as not to hold the developer up another month. Consider Conditioanl Use Permit by Northern States Power/P.H. Mr. Tom Bublitz, the City Administrator, indicated he would like to have a draft of the EIS available before we make a decision on the conditional use permit. Chairman Tralle opened the public hearing. No one appeared for or against the request. Mr. Don Chimel of NSP indicated it might be to the City's advantage to take a look at the plant in Newport.
